Ford Meter Box b11-666w-nl 1-1/2 in Fip Ball Valve No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX b11-666w-nl is a 1-1/2 inch full-port ball valve with female iron pipe thread (FIP) connections on both ends. It is built to a no-lead standard, making it compliant for potable water service. The padlock wing handle allows the valve to be locked in the open or closed position, which is standard practice for utility and water service shutoff applications. Licensed plumbers and water utility crews install this valve on water mains, service lines, and distribution systems where a secure, lockable shutoff is required.

This valve is suited for residential and commercial water service installations where FIP-threaded pipe is present on both sides of the connection. Typical applications include curb stop replacements, meter setting assemblies, and inline shutoff points on potable water distribution lines. The no-lead construction meets regulatory requirements for systems that carry drinking water. At 4.87 pounds, the valve is robust enough for buried or above-grade service work.

• 1-1/2 inch FIP x FIP end connections for threaded pipe installation

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threaded connections before tightening. Do not overtighten threaded connections, and verify the valve is in the closed position before restoring system pressure.
